Actually, I-10 heads south near Slidell to pass south of Lake Pontchartrain to New Orleans and I-12 bypasses N.O. north of the Lake, then re-connects with I-10 near Baton Rouge. Unless you intend to visit New Orleans, it just makes the trip longer. Its been a few years since I took I-10 to visit N.O. but the section between Slidell and N.O. crosses more water than land. Most of it is bridges across swamps. And it had major holes in the road bed where you could look down and see water thru the holes. Doesn't give you a warm, fuzzy feeling. Maybe somebody that lives in the area can update the status of that section.
